A previous employer provided me with one of these units to use as part of a utility inspection program. It came preloaded with Vista and ran beautifully. It even passed the drop test a few times and survived. Eventually it became outed due to Vista and was replaced with a laptop. It worked well for the purpose I used it for.
you should try to upgrade it to every version of Windows up to the most recent one by one, to know where's the limit. Will make a great series of videos.
Windows Vista was the first OS I had when I got my own PC back in the day (coming from family XP PC). being a teen at the time I didnt fully understand why everyone hated Vista. But for my needs as a WoW addict back then it was a nice OS. Second favorite OS only behind Windows 7
Vista is a christmas tree for no purpose but to satisfy they eyes of the user.. it drag the system down and lower the performance to make it look "pretty and nice" .. the animations was a bit over the edge as well
@@lokelaufeyson9931 If you really didn't like it, you could still use the Classic theme just fine. That's how things worked for a long while. The main theme looked really gorgeous, but would be heavier on resources, while the Classic theme would look a lot more plain but would perform better. Sometimes much better depending on how low-spec the machine was. Then, starting with Windows 8, Microsoft, in a brilliant genius move, got rid of that system entirely and forced users to use the main heavier theme only.
I'm curious to see what windows 7 would do on this. Windows 7 was faster than Vista in many ways. Also if you try upgrading from Windows XP to Vista Business it would be faster too as it doesn't have the Windows Media Center bloat which made low end PCs faster.
I have tested many times these types of devices. The error in the Windows assessment in these types of devices happens due to the fact that the display size of the panel is smaller than the largest video test file. In theory that should just skip the test but due to INCREDIBLY STUPID Intel driver that just crashes the video decoder when the image is larger than the rendering area. You can dig that from the logs once you dig deep enough. Also the touch screen driver - the best version is usually the one it was bundled with. Newer version might have bugs. Also the same driver from the other UMPC devices - either newer or older might not be suitable for the specific UMPC device.
So Michael, I can easily help you with what is going on on the Q1. What you need to do is you need to go in to control panel and uninstall and disable. Net meeting, you also need to uninstall and disable outlook. Let me explain why. Net meeting and outlook both cause the operating system to lag like a son of a gun. Because they are actually both on and running in the background. 24/7 in Windows Vista. Which consumes Ram and processor usage. If you disable those and turn off the windows widgets on the side of the screen and turn off arrow, you will actually get way better performance out of that little hand held
These machines are great Windows XP devices! I have two of them now and one has Windows XP installed and the other has Debian 12 with LXDE. Debian 12 is one of the few modern Linux distros that still runs on 32 bit machines.

Hey Michael, excellent work as always for your channel! I have a suggestion: I'm starting a virtualization/archival project of the AWE Learning computers (Early Literacy Station), and I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a video on AWE? I'm only archiving versions that were based off of old releases like Windows XP or Windows Embedded 7 and I've started a Discord dedicated to the efforts. I know someone on Reddit was supposed to contribute but I don't know if it's going to happen or not. If anyone is interested and have a AWE unit to make a hard disk image out of, let me know! It would be nice to see more tech UA-camrs review this interesting piece of software that is known to remove the Windows logo on startup.
always nice to see vista getting some love. THe aesthetic is better than 7 even, which grew from vista. It was ahead of its time and a lot of the hate comes from hardware being behind software and only the unobtanium systems of the time having enough 'smash' to run vista properly. anyone thats tried vista on a phenom II or FX8350 with a good gpu can tell you how well it runs on beefy hardware.
I don't know if it's new or something they've been doing for a while and I didn't notice before, but when you mentioned giving the video a thumbs up the widget lit up. As if I need help finding it, but it was kind of cool anyway.

I have a boxed copy of windows Vista and just want to put it on an old system but it loves failing to authenicate the copy as support has ended and also i swear there is a wormhole in my house as my copy of XP vanished along with a copy of Command & Conquer for the PS1!. My copy of XP is a copied version though but it does work and just wish i could find it for two old systems i have just collecting dust in my attic!. Great videos btw and thank you & Happy Hollllydays one and all!!! ⛄🎄
I remember back in the day, way back in 2006 when I was a college freshman, that Vista was kinda chuggy on even 1GB of RAM, and that a lot of tech articles/forums seemed to suggest shooting for 2GB minimum, 4GB to comfortably run it. lmfao. But then it's amazing how nowadays, Chrome uses more than a gigabyte per tab, and I would be antsy running Windows on 4GB of RAM, or even 8.
*Protip:* Vista is buggy as HELL without Service Pack 1. You will need it. In fact, it's almost mandatory for the OS. Never use Vista RTM if you can help it.
Not sure if my first comment went through…but I have the vista driver CD for this. The Q1 Ultra it came with doesn’t have the cameras or the fingerprint reader…but it should have most, if not all of the drivers including the Origami experience pack. Let me know if you’re interested!
If I remember right I had 4gb of ram at the time and Vista ran great, and I believe my parents had 1gb ram and it ran fine also. I think the large amount of hate Vista got was due to OEM selling PCs with Vista that barely got past the system minimum requirements. If you had a decent pc Vista ran absolutely fine.
"Using the device controls will give a more authentic experience" Michael, my bro, ANYONE would DEFINITELY have plugged in some kind of keyboard and mouse even back in the day rather than dealing with that nightmare of a control scheme lol
As if LGR and Ben Stein had a baby somehow gave us you, lol love your video. Also cl_showfps 1 is then console command to show fps in HL1. I know you didn't install it in this video just something to keep in mind for next time
windows vista was installed on any device or computer that they wanted to sell, requirement didnt matter. There was some nasty "not vista compatible" computers that was sold with vista. It was a bad time to be alive.. Windows Vista in general did have some "OS 2 Warp" issues as well, slow and sluggish due to bad code" and not really direct response when you click anything. Animations was running, background bloat was loaded and it was a mess.
Honestly if I had a such old tablet pc like that with 800mhz and like 1gb of ram I would run like Win ME or 2000 pro on it for best performance. Anyway awesome and great video as always.
ok. We knew XP would be better. We knew upgrading to vista would suck. But here is what we do not know. 1. can it take a faster drive? 2. can it run better if you did a clean install of Vista? 3. can it run windows 7 x32? 4. can it run Windows 10 x32? I'd love to know how high it can go.
yea, the Vista laptops was victims of the cooperate "make everything look nice even if it kill performance" attitude.. the main trick was to uninstall vista and install XP instead and you got all the performance back like magic.
In moments like this I wonder if Microsoft's ideology of having manufactures make drivers from scratch is the right call, or how linux does it. With having the manufacturer commit to the kernel itself so everything works out of the box.
i have a bigger question, what is the perks of locking every driver to the windows store? the only perk i see is for microsoft. Its impossible to get the drivers without installing windows. Have hours logged talking to microsoft trying to get the nvidia driver for the control panel but they simply refuse to give it to anyone and it wont matter if i use windows or not. They "disable" the drivers when they feel like it or when the computer haven't been online for a while for - fun - -.. I dont want to get all trash when the nvidia control panel is the only virtual issue. Microsoft turn it off for - fun - or "get a good laugh" and refuse to give a file or a link to it.. Microsoft is pigs, i dont support pigs
I would just love to see the latest version of Linux Mint Cinnamon running on this thing, see what a desktop that's been maintained for years for maturity does on it without sacrificing functionality
mint require 2 Gb ram .. and cinnamon really require it.. its a bit more to load at boot than XFCE.
